INTERNATIONAL LAW SOCIETY The year 1965-66 witnessed the formal organi- zation ofthe U of M International Law Society. Co- Chairmen Kevin Beattie and John Walker worked to- gether in the first semester drafting a charter. They had the able assistance of Toshio Sawada, a Japanese graduate research student who had previously worked with the International Law Society at Columbia Law School. The charter was ratified at the Society's organizational meeting, November 9, 1965. The ratifying body also elected the Society's officers: President, Kevin Beattieg Vice-President, Terrence Murphy, Secretary-Treasurer , Bob Fauxg Board Mem- bers, Carl Bowmer, Jim Hart, John Hawgett, Peter Pfaffenroth, and John Walker. Professor Whitmore Gray is the Society's faculty advisor. The Society's program ,featured dinner meetings. Its guests at these meetings included Professors William Bishop, Eric Stein, William Harvey, Alfred Conard, and Whitmore Gray who spoke on topics relative to their special fields. QM. Paul LeLux, a lawyer on the staff of the Commission of the European Economic Community, who spent two months in Ann Arbor, was a special guest of the Societyq Under the leadership of John Walker, the Society conducted an intra-mural run-off and then entered a team in the nationwide Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition. The Society sponsored a series of Monday language luncheons in German, French, and Spanish. It began a Jobs-Abroad program, which it hopes will develop in the future into an effective way of finding summer and post-graduate jobs for U of M Law students in fields relating to international and foreign law. The Society is a constituent member of the Association of Student International Law Societies, which sponsors the Jessup Competition and which serves as a clearing house of information for member societies on various subjects, in- cluding job opportunities and visits to the United States of prominent international figures.

THE CASE CLUBS A freshman's first introduction to the courtroom most likely occurs when he prepares and argues his case before a case club court. Freshman participation in Case Clubs is voluntary, but since it offers valuable experience in legal research, legal writing, and oral advocacy almost every freshman participates. This year, for instance, about 90 per cent of the freshmen class joined. Each freshman is assigned to one of about 20 case clubs. Each case club is headed by a senior judge, who is assisted by ajunior clerk. The senior judge instructs the members of his case club in the techniques and skills of presenting written and oral arguments. Each case club has one or two cases which are given to the freshmen in the same way that a senior partners gives a client's case to a young associate. With the instructions and with the cases, the fresh- men then prepare legal memorandums and appellate briefs and give oral arguments before the case club courts. Each Freshman's work is graded on the quality of his perfor- mance throughout the Case Club program. The most successful are chosen at the year's end for advancement into the Junior Campbell Club Competition and into junior clerkship. V I D ., 4 .. , .
